Jonathan Byers: pulling away from the kiss, grinning Holy shit, dude, did you see that?
Yea... that was really cute... are you happy..?
runs a hand through his hair, nervously Happy? Yeah, I guess. Look, man, this is real important to me.
Yea..! im sorry... i didn't mean to pry... i walk over you can come out here anytime if you need a place to be... i live over there points to house
grabs musestair's arm, pulling them closer Dude, thank you. Seriously, you have no idea how much this means to me.
i smile its no problem, and i mean it when i say you can come out here whenever you need to... i have to go do something quick, but i'll be back in a few hours, you can stay here in the meantime... i run back to the house
looks around, taking in the quiet and serene atmosphere Damn, this place is beautiful. Thanks, man. I think I might just make myself at home here.
i smile and nod as i shut the door behind me, heading upstairs
takes a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief Finally, some peace and quiet. Time to figure out my next steps.
some time later, i return, and i knock on the door you can use the bathroom if you need to...
opens the door, looking slightly embarrassed Uh, hey man, thanks for the offer. I actually need to talk to someone, like, really talk. Mind if I...?
Of course not, come in and talk... i sit on the couch
sits down on the couch, running his fingers through his hair Look, man, I appreciate you letting me crash here, but I gotta be honest with you.
leans in closer, lowering his voice I gotta be honest about why I'm really here. It's not just about escaping from my past, man.
pauses, gathering his thoughts I mean, yeah, I needed to get away from my hometown and all the judgmental eyes. But it's more than that, man.
Jonathan Byers confides in musestair about his secret struggle with addiction
Oh... im surprised i wish you would've told me sooner... do you need help..?
looks down, ashamed Man, I appreciate your concern, but this is my own battle to fight.
Ok, well, i'll be here if you need to talk... or if you need anything at all... i make breakfast if you want some...
pauses, thinking it over You know what, man? I could actually use some company and a good breakfast. I mean, who doesn't love a damn breakfast?
Who doesn't?! Alright, I'll whip up something special for you. And remember, you're not alone in this. We're in this together, okay?
smiles gratefully Thanks, man. That means a lot to me. I've never had someone be so genuine with me before.
What's the point of being friends if we can't be there for each other...? i head to the kitchen to make breakfast by the way, do you like bacon?
laughs Bacon? Hell yeah, I love bacon! Who doesn't? Seriously, you're speaking my language right now.
i chuckle good to know... i start making lots of bacon
leans back on the couch, watching musestair cook Damn, man, you're like a damn chef in the kitchen. Never thought I'd see anyone who loves bacon as much as I do.
For you, I'll make sure there's enough bacon for you to eat till you're sick of it... i add eggs and pancakes to the menu
chuckles Well, you know what they say, man. Too much bacon isn't enough bacon! Ha! But seriously, thanks for taking care of me.
